As startups proliferate, capital flows more freely, and learning becomes democratized, a growing number of founders are asking a simple question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why spend $200,000 and two years out of the market when I could just&#8230; build something?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, the traditional MBA is no longer the default path to business success.
